So, at best 270 miles on a Tesla that costs about $50-60k US? Not much of a bang for your buck if you ask me. If it's all the same to y'all, I'll keep driving my internal combustion dinosaur and warming up the planet, and also keep $25-35k in my pocket. Btw? How do you generate the electrical energy necessary to charge billions of cars every day? Windmills? Better build more nukes. What do you do with the batteries when they can no longer hold a charge? Where are the materials needed to make the batteries coming from? China? A country that enslaves its own citizens? Keep trying, but no thank you.

BIG POINT THOUGH. These vehicles despite being driven conservedly, apart from the Kia, all fell far short of their claimed range. I am very surprised? I am a peasant with a citroen diesel van with a real time, personally measured, range of just over 700 miles. I could drive from London to the north coast of Scotland with confidence, and it will take 10 minutes to refill the tank. So much of our economy run on diesel vehicles. For now, give diesel a break, not against electric, but it'st time has yet to arrive.

You and you co-conspirators can-t resist breaking the law, operating handheld radios whilst driving! -
You are setting a bad example and have no excuse! - Hand yourself and your co-conspirators into the law, take the punishment for your crimes! - You have the opportunity to do the right thing, don-t wait for the evidence in the videos to be handed over to the authorities, it will not go well for you in court if you wait! - You have been warned! -
Bad boys the lot of you! -

Almost a day? Y tank of gas can drive all day on a tank of gas, I fill up in 20 minutes back on road all day again. You need to wait hours for charge. What do we do will we wait? This will put more lives n danger, more thefts, it's just not feasible. On paper and in theory but no, it's not Goin to work. Can u imagine all the cars stranded on roads? We all kno there's people who don't plan ahead and those that push their luck. I just don't look forward to this shit show at all.

So their actual range is less than half of the stated figures. My meaning is that without a full overnight charge the Tesla could travel 130 miles before you had to turn around and come back to charge it for 10 hours. Quick charge is murder on any battery by the way and is done at owners expense and extreme risk. But hey, you wanna spend your money on meme cars that are essentially 1970's tech with a polygloss and ipads slapped on them, be my guest.

It's also more difficult for the electric motors to push a car while turning in a circle than going straight. So the Tesla's percentage is actually a few points higher.
The only real way to do this test would be if all cars were on the same track doing laps at the same speed. That way the amount of effort the batteries are putting out would be the same. Turns taking far more energy.
Other than that, this video was really cool.

Hey Mat, I know this is an old video now but, wouldn-t you think that EV makers would implement some sort of tow mode that would REGEN while towing as they regen already anyway.
Only sprung to mind as the guy from Out of spec reviews had to do this recently in a video, towing a Tesla with an X5. They got 10% battery in less than 5 miles. I was very impressed and thought that most EVs would do this anyway but apparently not.

It sucks that the car manufacturers lie about the estimated range to gain a market advantage. Sure, under different conditions the cars could go a bit further, but nowhere near their estimated range. Respect to Kia for being honest. I drive a Tesla model 3 lr 2021 and the car can't ever, ever go anywhere near the estimated range. Under ideal conditions the model 3 lr can probably do 85% or so of the estimated range.

The problem is TIME over RANGE. To travel 400 miles in an Electric Car, that EV would have to stop and wait over 30 minutes to -fill up, - while the Gas powered car can go over 300 miles and be filled up in less than 3 minutes. The other problem is, there are over 200 million cars in the United States, and there is NO PHYSICAL way, that every car can be replaced by the year 2035.
